Reminder - Tioweroton Lands Conference this Saturday

01/29/2018

The Lands Unit of the Mohawk Council of Kahnawà:ke would like to remind all Kahnawa′kehró:non and Kanehsata’kehró:non that the ‘2018 Tioweró:ton Conference’ takes place this Saturday, February 3, from 9 am to 2 pm at the Golden Age Club.

The conference is open to both communities and will focus on various land-based issues related to the Territory.

“We felt the Tioweró:ton Land Use Plan Framework deserved its own event,” said Land Use Coordinator Cole McComber. "It’ll be an opportunity for community members to express what they see as important to include in the Tioweró:ton Land Use Plan Framework.”

The event is a follow-up to the first ever Kahnawà:ke Lands Conference that took place last December, which was based on a thirty (30) week information campaign and consultation in 2017. Prior consultations included community-wide surveys, one-on-one interviews, and focus groups.

A continental breakfast and lunch will be provided, and door prizes will be available to participants.
